Why did I never realize this before?

So counting back nine months, people getting awfully busy in December.

1. Sadly, my comment would get a lock! 😁

2. I was born in January

My folks were out of touch (well, not completely, they were clearly in touch for at least one night in April).

3. I knew a girl whose name was Chris (short for Christmas).

I asked if she had been born on Christmas. She said her birthday was September 25th, but allowed that she may have started as a Christmas present.

4. I was conceived

In the steamy and torrid heat of summer when we all liked Ike. I occasionally celebrate my birthday on Mothers Day. People getting awfully busy in December because they forgot a Christmas present? Improvisation?

5. Forgot a Christmas present?

I know if I did that, there would be no baby-making activity!

6. A good number of these could be New Years Eve babies also!

7. Gotta do something to keep warm on those long winter nights.

9. How did July 7 get in there?

What happens in early October that is national?

I was born in 1945. My dad was in the Army during WWII, but had a bad back, and got a medical discharge - I'm guessing sometime in October of 1944 because I was born in early August. So, although I was born 5 months to early to qualify, I consider myself a boomer.

11. I would hazard an early fall cool snap.

10. My birthday rolls around in a couple of weeks

And I always think of my parents taking a pause after wrapping presents for my brothers

12. I never thought of my 9/18 birthday in that way before, but it makes sense...
